as scientific freak and on maternity leave. Maybe y’all could just have his babies instead? But please don’t, cause I’d rather he not be Travis Henry Sr.
I don’t think anyone would be too pleased with the original. It’s because of its reduced size and a little bit of tuning that makes it as acceptable as it appears above, but the original isn’t at all that great.
per a royhobbs request, there will be no Heyward gifs. He is above that mortal crap anyway. Heyward frowns upon pictures because it implies that it only happens once
It’s not that I’m against all gifs, it’s simply the ones that are completely irrelevant to the topic, baseball, and are more like “I’m finding this funny, so should you” type. And there is a big difference between optimized and un-optimzed gifs that really make a noticeable difference. I totally dig Heyward gifs as much as everyone else does, and as long as they’re not exorbitant in size and tank everyone else’s systems, go for it. But take for example, if you see that there’s already several gifs, use your own judgment on whether or not you think it’s appropriate to insert a 576 frame gif of a Japanese commercial. Just don’t be surprised if you find it’s not there at a later time.
That second picture! It looks like Hinske, Matty, and Mac are all about to flee in terror. Heyward is all bowed up in a triumphant primal scream and is a full head taller than the rest. It seriously looks like he is about to beat the shit out of somebody.
They’ll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they’ll watch the game and it’ll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they’ll have to brush them away from their faces.
The second picture is easily the best – you have to ask yourself, who’s the one looking scared? It certainly doesn’t look like Heyward, it looks like he’s about to take Hinske, McCann and Diaz, and squeeze them into one being!
Something is going on with this team. We’ve won 3 out of 4 series despite a terrible travel schedule, despite being no-hit, despite several deep slumps, despite being blown out. Heyward and Hinske are a big part of it. With those two, we’re never going to be out of it, they can bounce us back. Great pictures Roy and Liz, thanks for sharing.
That is a SICK picture. I know it’s on the main page, but rec’d nonetheless

very cool!

I want jason heyward to have my baby!
HansonManCrush - April 18, 2010 via mobile

BravesRaleigh - April 18, 2010
I'd rather he not miss the time...

Mr. Sanchez - April 19, 2010
I screamed that at Jesse Valenzuela at a Gin Blossoms concert once
He looked at me and smiled…that was pretty cool.
Doghnut - April 18, 2010
That's disturbing
If he does have kids I hope he teaches them how to play baseball!!
HereComesBream - April 20, 2010
awesome picture. You wouldn’t happen to have it in a higher resolution would you?

royhobbs - April 18, 2010
Impressive pic!!
bwellnjonesco - April 18, 2010
Someone needs to make a gif of Heyward jumping up and down.
Any takers?
Scott Coleman - April 18, 2010 via mobile
nope
per a royhobbs request, there will be no Heyward gifs. He is above that mortal crap anyway. Heyward frowns upon pictures because it implies that it only happens once
GoBravesNY - April 18, 2010
Haha
Oh I missed that.
Scott Coleman - April 18, 2010 via mobile
why is rh against it?
Because he knows every thread would be slammed with JHey gifs?
Doghnut - April 18, 2010
It apparently slows down thread more than just pics
schlagdawg - April 18, 2010
not surprised
AA had a 4k comment count on their open thread of the 20 inning game yesterday…i have no idea how that thread was usable for everyone…
Doghnut - April 18, 2010
Shitty moderating. TC would never get that bad. And I think the Cardinals blog had like 7 threads lol.
Scott Coleman - April 18, 2010 via mobile
Okay

royhobbs - April 19, 2010
Do you still want the gif?
I mean, we don’t have to make it the logo or anything…
schlagdawg - April 18, 2010
i'd like to just see it
I was dealign with other stuff at the time and only saw the quick highlights on ESPN.
I don’t think it’ll kill a View From Your Seat thread with 16 comments in it, will it?
Scott Coleman - April 18, 2010
Nah, so here goes! (only 4 seconds)
schlagdawg - April 18, 2010
What mvhsbball says is truespeak. Rec’d
GoBravesNY - April 18, 2010 via mobile
This one is a little better, showing him going from watching to excited
schlagdawg - April 18, 2010
Is it just me or does each of those leaps cover a stupid amount of distance?
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 18, 2010
It's not just you
Dude has hops
schlagdawg - April 18, 2010
Thanks for posting that! And yeah, I remember an interview or something where we said he could dunk no problem since 10th grade or so
Scott Coleman - April 18, 2010 via mobile
No problem
Looks like my first dabble in gif creation = success
schlagdawg - April 18, 2010
10th grade?
I bet he could dunk on a 10 ft. rim when he was in the 6th grade
royhobbs - April 19, 2010
that's fantastic
Didn’t get to see it live. I didn’t know he went that crazy. Awesome, awesome, awesome.
Bubdylan - April 18, 2010
Love it.
The sheer exuberance is great to see. He’s a kid playing a kid’s game.
Dude does have hops, but I might have jumped nearly as high when he got that hit.
Jacob Peterson - April 19, 2010
LOVE this one
I smiled like a giddy school girl watching him celebrate on the field.
He has remained so composed during all the fervor about him – it was great to see him let loose a little and ENJOY his/our moment.
NCChopper - April 19, 2010
I LOVE that shot! I had the opposite view,
And I can’t believe I could stop jumping up and down long enough to get some clear shots:
And the shaving cream in the towel:
Lizziebeth - April 19, 2010
Ahahaha!
That second picture! It looks like Hinske, Matty, and Mac are all about to flee in terror. Heyward is all bowed up in a triumphant primal scream and is a full head taller than the rest. It seriously looks like he is about to beat the shit out of somebody.
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 19, 2010
LOL
It really does look like that
schlagdawg - April 19, 2010
hahahaha
so true.
Scott Coleman - April 19, 2010
reminds me of....
the bear in the ice cream truck in Borat movie
Heyward is awesome
RehabReject - April 19, 2010
LMBO
They look freaked out. Great pictures.
HereComesBream - April 20, 2010
People Will Come, Ray
They’ll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes.

BraveSaluki - April 19, 2010
it looks like mclouth is about to kick jhey's helmet
weird.
Doghnut - April 19, 2010
Beautiful
The second picture is easily the best – you have to ask yourself, who’s the one looking scared? It certainly doesn’t look like Heyward, it looks like he’s about to take Hinske, McCann and Diaz, and squeeze them into one being!
royhobbs - April 19, 2010
Looks like some brakes are being slammed by Hinske,McCann and Diaz
bighop - April 19, 2010
Maybe it’s just me, but I think Eric Hinske is playing a big role in our clubhouse. Seems like a great leader and a great guy!
JadedMayberry - April 19, 2010
Rec'd this thread.
I think it should be revisited every time we have a tough loss the night before.
I realize that may only mean a handful of times this year, but let’s keep it available. :-)
(how’s that for optimism in April)
NCChopper - April 19, 2010
Something is going on with this team. We’ve won 3 out of 4 series despite a terrible travel schedule, despite being no-hit, despite several deep slumps, despite being blown out. Heyward and Hinske are a big part of it. With those two, we’re never going to be out of it, they can bounce us back. Great pictures Roy and Liz, thanks for sharing.
